Migration Application / Application for Order Nisi; Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Refugee Review Tribunal denied the applicant natural justice by not considering certain documents (Part B documents) referenced by the Minister's delegate" 'Whether the failure to consider these documents amounted to a jurisdictional error']

Ratio Decidendi

The applicant failed to establish an arguable case that the Tribunal committed jurisdictional error by not having or considering the three Part B documents; even if the documents were not before the Tribunal, their contents would not have changed the decision, as the Tribunal accepted there was past persecution but found no ongoing risk on the updated country situation and the applicant's profile.

Court Disposition

Application for order nisi dismissed with costs.

Orders

  • ['The application for an order nisi be dismissed.' "The applicant pay the respondent's costs."]
